Tho Ideas of tho European Laborer.

The recent refusal of the English Trades
Unions to form an alliance with the Trades
Unions of the continent, because the latter
are tainted with Socialism, directs attention
anew to the condition of the great masses of
laborers in the most intelligent of European
countries. Stronger even than the senti-
ments of nationality has become the attach
men! Of large proportion of the laboring
classes of continental Europe to Socialistic
ideas. An alliance Of the Trades Unions of
Germany and France, great as is the hatred
of the two peoples, would be more reasona-
BILE than an alliance of either with the Eng
lsh workingmen. In spite of some Socialis-
tic leanings on the part of leaders among the
Trades Unionists in England, the great body
of English workmen retain different spirit
They have pride in home and country that
the Socialist of France, Germany or Belgium
does not feel. Only among the degraded
loungers of London does there exist SYM
pathy with the social creed of the miserable
miners of Charlerei, the red-hag mobs of
Paris or the rank and file of the Social Dem
ocrats of Germany. The more intelligent
English workingmen have discerned as clear
ly almost as the statesmen of the continent,
that Socialism Is becoming a dominant in
tiueAce in the Industrial world of their neigh
bors. The frequent outbreaks at Charleroi
and the enormous circulation of Socialistic
journals among the workingmen of Belgium
mark the progress and causes of great reyo-
luton in ideas. In Germany the public press
is now engaged in calling attention
TO the alarming increase Of Socialism
throughout the empire, and the persistent
activity Of the Socialist propagandists, in
spite of the efforts of the police to suppress
them. The country is filed with Socialist
literature, and the efforts of the authorities
to prevent its dissemination seem to be fu-
tile. The growth of Socialism in Germany
has been very gradual, and has been inter-
rupted only by desultory crusades on the
part of the authorities But the rapid spread
of the doctrines, which even the working
men Of foreign country have begun to re-
alize, is said at last to have aroused the Ger
man people, -thatis, so many of them as are
not Socialists and have hitherto condemned
Prince Bismarck's repressiye legislation.
The cable dispatches report that the police
authorities throughout the country have re-
ceiyed unqualified instructions to deal with
the question vigorously, and have been
( warned that each head of department will
be held personally responsible for his neg
lect or failure to prohibit Socalistic gather
ings, or prevent the distribution Of seditious
pamphlets within this jurisdiction. Wheth-
er these measures will stay the tide of the
propagaRda's success is hardly matter Of
speculation. Other methods than force have
almost universally been required to stay the
march Of an idea, even of very bad enc.
A reduction of standing armies and lighter
taxes might do what force cannot do: and
might lift the German and French and Bel
gian workingmen to plane wherein his
English brethren could meet him in conf
| dence and concord

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

The Andoyer Review for June. This is an age
of inquiry and new questions are continually
arising. 1t is equally an age Of practical effort
in the moral and social spheres Both these phases
of modern life are ably represented in the Ando-
yer Review. Month after month they are followed
up with undiminished zeal and discussed in a
broad, liberal, and humane spirit. Thus the pres
ent number contains articles on Christian Work
in London, and Our Own Public Schools with ref
srence to the training of our youth in the princi-
pies of Morality and Religion. The Review of
Christian Work in London reveals an immense
scheme devised and carried on in an admirable
spirit which goes far to redeem the faults of our
civilization, The literary paper of this number is
on Elizabeth Barrett Browning and win not fail to
please her numerous readers. The Ethical bear
ings of Evolutionary Theories are clearly demon
strated, also the need of higher principle than
natural selection to account for the facts OF
mans moral nature. Finally, President Hyde OF
Bowdoin, reviews Prof. Harriss volume on The
Self Revelation of God. The article is in the form
of a dialogue which is modelled ON the Platonic
method, and proves well adapted to the exigen-
cies of our modern problems.

The Portland daily press., 1887-06-21

The English-American societies of Boston
have applied for Fanueil Hall to hold meet
ing in honor of the Queens jubilee, whereat
there is great commotion among the Irish
American societies and bitter remonstrances
against granting the request. Nevertheless
the request ought to be granted. The Queens
jubilee is essentially celebration of the
progress which the English people have made
In the last fifty years. 1t is celebration of
the victories that have been won by English
men, and Irishmen and Scotchmen, by all
the subjects of Her Majesty, in art, litera-
ture, science and every department of hui
man knowledge for the last half century. 1t
is celebration of progress toward freer in
situations and more liberal government.
During these fifty years a great many injus
tees have been swept away, the aristocracy
have grown weaker and the people stronger.
Even the condition Of the Irish people, bad as
it now is, has been much ameliorat-
ed by the disestablishment of the Irish
church and tina passage Of the land
act. There is much in the history
of England for the last fifty years which
man need not be an Englishman to feel a
pride in and be glad to celebrate.
Why, then, should not the Englishmen of
Boston be allowed to rock the Cradle of Lib
erty to their hearts content over this story
Of progress? Faneuil Hall has frequently
been opened for Irishmen to denounce Eng
land for her sins of omission and commits
sion. Why should not Englishmen be al
lowed to set forth the other side of the
account, and tell the good til ings of Vie
toria's reign?
